Brand new Dark Crystal tees for all you epic adventurers!

We always listen to our fans at TruffleShuffle and one of the most asked for requests has always been for Dark Crystal T-Shirts, so we are very pleased to announce the arrival of our first exclusive and official, own brand Dark Crystal tees!

The Dark Crystal is a 1982 fantasy film directed by the legendary Jim Henson and Frank Oz.  The storyline involved Jen, an elf like 'Gelfling' and his quest to restore balance to his fantasy world by returning a lost shard of the dark crystal back to the powerful but broken gem.  The film had a whole host of memorable characters including the Skesis, who were an evil race of grotesque birdlike lizards and who used to scare a generation of children enough to hide behind the sofa!  After work on the Dark Crystal had finished Henson and Oz's next project would turn out to be the film Labyrinth, one of TruffleShuffle's all time favourites!

This fab new Dark Crystal design focus on Kira and Jen, but also has appearances from other characters including Aughra the wild-haired seer, Urzah the mystical urRu and Fizzgig the loveable pet.  The ladies Dark Crystal tee is available in a sport grey colour for £19.99 and the mens Dark Crystal tee is in a darker Charcoal colour, also for £19.99.  It's the perfect chance to show your love for this classic film!
